... he's due for a pre-sentencing report from a probation office!!
I'm due to become a live-out landlord and have a lodger already on a periodic lodger agreement. So.... arranged to rent out bed one and two under separate AST's to two unrelated professionals. (I'm now HMO landlord, so) to keep everyone under the same conditions I drew up an AST for the lodger to sign the same as the others, and hey presto!!! He has a pre-sentence report and a hearing in late Oct for something he's allegedly 'done' and I have no idea what!?
Before committing to him with an AST (to put in context, he's been a reasonable lodger - tidy, mostly quiet and pays on time), I'm going to ask him outright what is going on.
My options are (I had served notice to quit on the basis of his lodger agreement in case he didnt want an AST with me), so that is still extant. And just get him out of the property by that, or does anyone know of any special clauses apart from Ground 14 Grounds for Possession? Like a disclaimer of some kind?
My gut feeling is to not go ahead with the AST even with a special clause related to Ground 14 and tell him so - would it be wiser to put that in writing? Any advice?
